Master of Love by Catherine La Roche

Available on eBook—a sexy historical romance
featuring a genteel book dealer who is commissioned to organize an impressive
personal library in the home of London’s most notoriously seductive lord.

Dominick Avery, Viscount Rexton, has a brilliant mind, yet is so intoxicatingly
handsome no one ever takes his intellect seriously. He cultivates a wicked
reputation as Lord Adonis, Master of Love, until his uncle sends him an
irresistible bequest of books, on the condition he accept also the prim
librarian who comes with them.

Miss Callista Higginbotham struggles to support her quirky household as a rare
book dealer and librarian, while tottering on the dangerous edge of poverty.
But she quickly finds herself in greater danger yet, as her desire flares for
the infuriatingly flirtatious lord. Dominick wants nothing more than to unleash
his luscious new librarian from her straight-laced propriety. He’s learned,
however, never to trust desire—and certainly not the all-consuming passion that
soon bedevils him. But when Callista discovers a plot against Dominick’s life
and risks all to save him—they both learn that love is the one lesson that
cannot learned from books…

I had very mixed feeling about Master of Love.Dominick Avery played on his looks and
acted like he cared about only having a reputation as a lover.He never let people know how smart he
was and all the time he was whining to himself about how no one would ever take
him seriously.I found him to be
something of a wimp and wondered why some one as strong and intelligent as
Callista even bothered with him.

On the other hand I loved Callista.She did not whine aloud or to
herself.I did enjoy parts of the
story.It just seemed that to make
it work some parts were rushed and some parts were rather contrived.
